'In today's rapidly evolving knowledge era, the speed at which skills become outdated is high. ITIs must frequently update their courses to remain relevant,' Girbane said. He added that MCCIA is in active discussions with the state department of skills to ensure stronger industry-institute collaboration. 'Soon, a high-level meeting will be held to bring together industry stakeholders and the department to align training programmes with current job market requirements. Mechanical roles now demand electromechanical or mechatronic skills. The curriculum needs urgent upgrades,' he said.
